The treatment of Behçet's disease is essentially symptomatic and depends on the severity of the manifestations. Colchicine is usefull in the minor, particularly mucocutaneous forms. It can be safely used at a dose of 1 mg/day as maintenance treatment to prevent or limit the acute episodes. Other immunomodulators have been proposed: levamisole, disulon, thalidomide, the indications for which are limited by the side effects. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents are indicated in the articular forms. Steroid therapy remains essential in the severe neurological and ophthalmological forms at an initial dose of 1 mg/kg/day. It can be preceded by the intravenous bolus administration of high doses of methylprednisolone. Immunosuppressants are useful in the same indications. Although some authors propose them right from the start, we prefer to reserve them for second line treatment in the event of steroid dependence or recurrence, because of their short-term infectious and long-term oncogenic risks. Cyclosporin, which has been proven to be effective by randomized studies, is difficult to manage and responsible for complications, in particular renal. It can therefore only be used as second line treatment by experienced users. Plasmapheresis is reserved as an emergency procedure for functionally threatening forms. Venous or arterial thromboses justify long-term anticoagulation, possibly associated with platelet anti-aggregants. In this chronic disease, the quality of follow-up and the patient's cooperation are essential in order to intervene rapidly and to detect as early as possible the complications of the disease and of the treatment.
